Geocache Description:


The parish church of St Mary and St Andrew is a Grade I listed building dating from the 12th Century. Originally, the Church of St Andrew, it received the additional name of St Mary, patron of the chantry, sometime after the 16th century.

The Church consists of a chancel with south chapel, central embattled tower and nave with a south aisle and porch, and is built of field stones of ashlar dressings, until stripped in 1910, the walls were plastered externally. The Norman Church comprised of only a nave, central tower and chancel. The thick north wall of the nave survives, with one round headed window, and the lower stage of the tower with four such windows. In the 13th century the chancel was rebuilt, with a row of lancets, mostly later blocked, in its north wall. A south aisle, divided from its nave by a three bay arcade, was added alongside the nave and tower.
Around the tower are gargoyles, but even more grotesque than these, is a rare sheela na gig. You can see this on the window arch directly below the clock on the tower.
The Church is open during daylight hours.
